Nonetheless he continues to feature this season and was crucial to Mikel Arteta’s side taking all three points to progress.
The 25-year-old defender spoke to BT Sport after the game to explain it had been a hard fought win.
“We wanted to get the game done by 60, 70 minutes but we didn’t do that. They put pressure on us but we dealt with it well,” he said.
“We just had to show fight and hunger because Zurich came here with that. We knew it was going to be tough with the way we play.”
Speaking about the competition he faces this season, he explained: “I am just going to keep working hard, the manager knows I will give 100% from the start or the bench.”
